I’m breaking “invisible” barriers–
I didn’t even know were there.
Like a line of ghosts you walk through,
unafraid because you don’t even
know you are doing it at the time
but you can look back or ahead & see
that that’s what you are, in effect,
doing.
Awareness may block your
progress through imaginings, fear.
But you’re blind to all that, set on
full speed ahead, and need a strong
arm to rein yourself in to stop this
powerful train of energetic movement
forward–going almost without thinking
or much forethought just plunging,
forging ahead to your requisite “goals”.
You listen inside for any “unconscious”
insights of warnings or encouragement
and then test it with your logic side
to see if a decision, an action,
is desirable–even as a “risk”
if it seems chancy or on the line as to
whether you really want to engage
in it from this perspective,
in advance. The ghosts aren’t scary.
If they’re there, you don’t know it.
